MomConnect旨在为南非怀孕期间和养育子女的最初几年的母亲提供重要的健康信息。该设计借鉴了移动的孕产妇行动联盟在南非的成功方案，以及国际上实施的越来越多的移动的保健干预措施。像MomConnect这样的服务取决于用户的接受程度，因为所有的参与都是自愿的，这意味着工具必须易于使用和有用才能成功。本文介绍了使用该工具的孕妇和新妈妈对该工具的评价。一个有目的的样本32个单独的半结构化访谈和7个焦点小组进行了，在南非的五个省。所有的会议都被转录，然后使用语境化的解释方法进行了分析，并得到了Escheras.ti的协助。这些妇女对“母亲连接”一贯持积极态度，高度重视信息的内容和传递信息的媒介。该系统运作良好，但在某些语文翻译方面存在一些小问题。受访者对这些信息很感兴趣，表示这些信息很有用，使她们感到自己作为母亲的角色得到了增强，有些人将这些信息保存下来作为资源使用或与他人分享。最重要的问题涉及网络覆盖。与会者强烈支持继续进行这一发言。考虑到移动保健干预措施的用户可接受性，MomConnect似乎达到了确定和满足接受者需求的目标。
MomConnect was designed to provide crucial health information to mothers during pregnancy and in the early years of child rearing in South Africa. The design drew on the success of the Mobile Alliance for Maternal Action’s programme in South Africa, as well as a growing list of mobile health (mHealth) interventions implemented internationally. Services such as MomConnect are dependent on user acceptability as all engagements are voluntary, meaning that tools have to be easy to use and useful to be successful. This paper describes the evaluation of the tool by pregnant women and new mothers using the tool. A purposive sample of 32 individual semistructured interviews and 7 focus groups were conducted, across five provinces in South Africa. All the sessions were transcribed and then analysed using a contextualised interpretative approach, with the assistance of Atlas.ti. The women were consistently positive about MomConnect, attaching high value to the content of the messages and the medium in which they were delivered. The system was found to work well, with minor problems in some language translations. Respondents were enthusiastic about the messages, stating that the information was of great use and made them feel empowered in their role as a mother, with some saving the messages to use as a resource or to share with others. The most significant problems related to network coverage. There was strong support for this intervention to continue. Given the user acceptability of mHealth interventions, MomConnect appeared to meet the target of identifying and responding to the recipient’s needs.
